waves

 on the waves of the wind

piloted the dotted sails of

an early monarch hued from

the yawn of the morning

concurrently harbinger and

psychopomp of summer

slumber. too early, too early,

I tell her, the moon has not yet

rolled back the tide but

the waves of the wind cease no

more than waves of 

dappled foaming green

and the monarch, though

new to these waters

knows well her job
